| Texas Longhorns - Thomas Edison Company
A herd of Texas Longhorn cattle --a breed with an "attitude" that has almost vanished from the west -- is driven out of a corral by a cowboy wielding a stick. Many a wrangler was killed or maimed when one of these evil-tempered beasts, sporting horns up to three feet wide, suddenly turned on him without warning. This film was produced to be exhibited in the Kinescope peep-show machine.

| White Zombie: Excerpt - Edward Halperin Productions
After his success in Tod Browning's "Dracula," Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi (1882-1956) refused the role of the monster in "Frankenstein" because he believed all the grunting required of him would be beneath his dignity as an actor. Ironically, however, Lugosi tended to accept any script offered to him in which there was plenty of dialog.
